being 1,410. Since four schools have been called into question
on account of their supposed influence in spreading the disease,
I have mapped out a district which will include the greater
number of houses whence children would attend them. This
district is bounded by an imaginary line from Queen's Road
Station, up the west side of Hollydale Road to Nunhead
Station, thence back to Evelina Road, taking both sides of same
as far as the railway arch, and then the north side as far as
Nunhead Green, along the north side of Nunhead Green and
Nunhead Lane, across Peckham Rye to East Dulwich Road,
along the north side of same to Crystal Palace Road, west side
of Crystal Palace Road to North Cross Road, north side of
North Cross Road to Lordship Lane, west side of Lordship
Lane to No. 182, thence across to the east side of Thorncombe
Road to East Dulwich Grove, both sides of East Dulwich
Grove (but omitting the St. Saviour's Infirmary) to the beginning
of Melbourne Grove (taking in East Dulwich Railway
Station and Constance Road, but omitting the Workhouse).
The boundary follows the railway from East Dulwich Station
to Victoria Road, including Ivanhoe Road and that part of
Chadwick Road between Grove Park and the London, Brighton
and South Coast Railway, also taking in Azenby Square, along
Victoria Road, down the pathway by the side of Peckham
House, along south side of High Street to Rye Lane, thence
across to Sunderland Wharf, along Canal Place to Stanton
Street, including Salisbury Cottages, east side of Stanton Street
to Commercial Road, along south side of Commercial Road
(crossing the canal) to Hill Street, west side of Hill Street,
crossing same when opposite Goldsmith Road, along south
side of Goldsmith Road and Shard Road, west side of Carlton
Grove to Meeting House Lane, south side of Meeting House
Lane to Asylum Road, along west side of Asylum Road to point
of starting. It must be clearly understood, however, that in
this district there will be children attending other schools than
the four I have mentioned, so that there will be a little unfairness
in the grouping of the figures given. Against this
there are several households outside the area whose children
attended one or other of the four schools.
In the first place I give the notification figures for the
area in question, which I have termed the affected area, and
